Upcoming Events

We welcome a New Minister

Rev Hugh Park was inducted last month as the new Minister for
Thornleigh Hillcrest Uniting Church. The Church, commonly known as
‘the Church behind the wall’ on Pennant Hills Road, was over-flowing
with visitors to witness the occasion.

Rev Park originally came from Korea but has resided in Australia for
a quarter of a century and had previously had ministry placements at
Trinity Mortdale Centre and Ryde Uniting Church. Hugh is one of the
very few Koreans who has been trained for Ministry in Australia and
has two Bachelor’s degrees, a Masters and is completing a PhD on the
nature of sin – let us hope he does not find more material for his
thesis in the 2120 postcode.

It is already evident that Rev Park is a gifted minister able to
work cross-culturally. He will be a great asset to further enhance
the church’s outreach to the community. Thornleigh Hillcrest
Uniting’s aim is to be a ‘lighthouse for Christ’ and they hold
regular meetings of interested people in social justice issues. Aged
ministry is another area of concentration and a Seniors’ Luncheon
held in March catered for 48 guests from the community and 22 from
its own congregation. There is a men’s wood working group and a
women’s craft group. It also runs English conversation classes.Bible Study groups meet regularly.

Why not come and hear what Hugh has to say at his Sunday worship
services? The morning worship is a great time of praise and sharing.
The service commences at 9.30am.

Sunday Coffee Club

A number of the congregation meet for a leisurely
cup of coffe,tea or milkshake and conversation on most Sundays from
about 11.30. We meet at one of the Coffee shops at the top of the
